I have one here in Adelaide (I moved from the US where I bought it) with a folding…"

Andrew K replied to maggie chandler's discussion Bromptons anyone?"The Dahons are worth a look. The Dahon Briza D7 for example rides more or less like a normal bike, can be folded without lifting it and can be wheeled along behind you when folded.
Whatever you get, make sure you get good puncture resistant tyres…"

Maggie, I suggest that you post a discussion on the AC hub, with an obvious title. A member might have a Brompton that you can try.
